Winning is always nice, but doing so behind a season-high score is even better (just ask Chinle). They put the hurt on the Pinon Eagles with a sharp 18-8 win on Friday. The Wildcats haven't had any issues with the Eagles recently, as the game was their eighth consecutive victory against them.
Charmayne Charley spent all seven innings on the mound, and it's clear why: she surrendered eight earned runs on 11 hits and racked up nine Ks. She has been nothing but reliable: she hasn't tossed less than eight strikeouts in three consecutive appearances.
